Subject: Simplification of Pension procedure for permanently disabled children/siblings and dependent parents.

2. In terms of GOI, MOD letter dated 15.05.2015,
the Pension Disbursing Agencies will make payment of Ordinary family
pension as per prescribed procedure laid down in ibid Govt. letter in
case the name(s) of dependents of the deceased including dependent
disabled children have been endorsed in the Pension Payment Orders
(PPOs). In other words, in such cases Pension Disbursing Agencies should
start payment to the dependents directly without referring it to
Pension Sanctioning Authorities.

3. In those cases where the names of
dependents have not been found endorsed in the Pension Payment Order,
the claim for endorsement of name for notification of Ordinary Family
Pension through Corrigendum PPO will be processed and forwarded to
Pension Sanctioning Authorities through Army Headquarter/ Record Office
concerned in the case of Commissioned Officer and JCOs/ OR respectively.
